Question

Which of the following equations shows "Five times a number minus 40 is 50"?

Answer 1

The question is simply a written version of an equation.

Where it says "a number", let us use the variable x.

5 * x - 40 = 50

5x - 40 = 50

x - 8 = 10

x = 18

I am not sure which of the equations are depicted, but I hope this helps!
